Pawsitive Flow

Winston is a 6 year old Corgi with arthritis. He loves cheese and baby talk and wants to be wherever his mom is. Happy birthday today, Winston!

4 year old English Bulldog, Archie, came to loosen up his hips. Archie loves treats, but wonders why he has to walk in the pool to get them.

Sky, a 2 year old Husky/Goldendoodle mix, looking for enrichment, socialization, and to stay feeling good. Sky was the perfect first-time client. She ate all her treats, didn't mind the water, and gave me kisses before she left.

He's here. He's there. He's every f***ing where. Roy Kent!

Introducing (1 year late😬) Roy Kent. He's a 2 year old pitty who wears (mostly) black and grumbles when it takes me too long to prepare his food or drive him and his sister to a park for our walk. But, he is the cuddliest boy ever!

We adopted this little nugget shortly after we said goodbye to Logan as it was difficult for Rogue to be alone when she's lived her entire life with multiple brothers.

He's been a great addition to our household and today we celebrate his 2nd birthday.🎉

Golden Retriever, Kelce, is 16 weeks old and getting an intro to water. She is like the energizer bunny with endless energy. Kelce loves the water, and on her second session became a certified swimmer.

Ozzie is a 4 year old Maltipoo getting acclimated to water. How did Ozzie do on his first session? He rocked it! Ozzie loves treats, loves water, and loves attention and praise. He was in his element.

1 year old Golden Retriever, Cosmo is a handsome, playful boy, but he did not get the memo that he is a water breed. Cosmo loves to play in the water, but tries too hard when swimming and needs help refining his technique.

8 year old Lab mix, Peggy, has arthritis in her knee. Peggy is a little suspicious of new situations. Luckily, cheese and tennis balls was a winning combination for helping Peggy relax and enjoy her time in the pool.

Hercules, a 2 year old mini Poodle, has a history of medial shoulder instability, so his mom wants him to be comfortable with water should he need hydrotherapy in his later years. Hercules is a quick learner and adapted to the pool and platforms in no time.

Chihuahua/Dachshund/Collie mix, Maisie, is 1 year old. Her mom wants to help keep Maisie's back strong and improve her swimming for safety during hikes. Maisie is usually a little anxious with new situations, but her love for treats helped her get comfortable quickly.

4 month old Labrador Retriever, Poppi, is here for an introduction to water. She is a sweet, confident girl who loves to work for treats. Poppi is officially prepped for her Memorial Day vacation on a dog island where I'm sure the native dogs will further help build her confidence.

Archie is a 4 year old Terrier/Shih Tzu mix who is recovering from a toe amputation. He is also Doby's brother. Unlike Doby, Archie loves water and swims so smoothly. Please admire all those whispy hairs. They are my favorite.

Tiki, a 5 year old Brussels Griffon, is recovering from knee surgery. Tiki brings the party wherever he goes. On the inside, Tiki is a Lab or Golden and loves to fling his compact body at you with affection. Tiki is focused and works hard for treats in the pool. His sit to stands are top-notch.

Sydney is a 15 year old Golden Retriever who loves to swim and soak. Sydney has swam for the past two years at Here Buoy, and her mom says it has really kept her moving well. I hope Pawsitive Flow can continue to bring Sydney joy and improved mobility.

7 year old Golden Retriever, KoKo, has gained some weight following a knee injury and needs some low impact exercise. KoKo loves to catch tennis balls in the pool while swimming. She's a natural swimmer and had so much fun during her first session.

Wishing my friend, Karla, at Here Buoy Dog Swim Spa a happy and well-earned retirement. I'm thankful she reached out to befriend me when I first started my business, and have appreciated her support and advice over the years. She has helped so many dogs over the past 11 years, and I know her current clients will miss her greatly. I wish Karla the very best as she ends this chapter to begin a new adventure!💙🎉

If you'd like your very own swimspa, please contact my friend Karla for info.

The swim spa at Here Buoy is looking for a new owner and location as I prepare to retire this spring! The pool fits in a compact space of about 20’ x 24’, and includes all equipment, an optional custom deck, and setup assistance. If you are interested in giving it a good home, please send a Facebook message or text me. And yes, the water feels great! Karla 😀 💦

I was saddened to learn that Remy passed on last week. I only had the pleasure of spending time with Remy once, but he radiated good boy vibes, and I could tell he was a special soul. Sending big hugs to Remy's family.💙

My heart goes out to Charming's family as they had to say goodbye. Charming was always so full of sass and loved to complain vocally when I wasn't giving him treats quickly enough. I will miss seeing his sweet face.💙

10 year old pittie mix, Roxie, needs to strengthen her hindend. Roxie's love language is definitely physical touch. She pawed at me every time I stopped massaging her. Roxie was a little unsure of the pool, but gained confidence quickly.

Beau, a 9 year old Labrador Retriever, has arthritis and is looking for a low impact form of exercise. Beau has experience swimming in lakes, so he was a natural in the pool and got to try out all the techniques.

Kali is a 5 month old Leonberger and already 70 lbs. She is a curious, confident girl who can be unsure of new things at first. Luckily, Kali is easy-going and food motivated. She got into the pool fairly easily and enjoyed learning to walk and turn on the platforms.

Mini Goldendoodle, Stella, is 7 years old and recovering from knee surgery. She ranks as one of the most food motivated dogs I've ever had. We have to slow Stella down while walking because she tries to race for the treats.

Remy is a Border Collie mix who just turned 14 years young. He loved the free work ball pit and rolled all the balls to us. Remy loved the pool even more and spent some time swimming and walking on the platforms.

11 year old American Staffordshire Terrier, Hank, has arthritis. Hank is a beefy boy with a lovable personality. His dad brought him steak as treats on his second visit, which ended up being the perfect treat to encourage Hank into the pool.

Bella is a 6 year old Shar Pei/Beagle mix with a knee injury. Bella is not a fan of touch from strangers, but we started out slow and she did a great job during her first session.

Lab/Husky mix, Finn, is 11 years old with arthritis and a couple other conditions. Finn loves water and was so excited to see the pool. Finn got comfortable with the pool quickly and enjoyed swimming and chewing a blue squeaky ball.

13 year old GSD/Lab mix, Athena, has arthritis and is looking for low impact ways to stay active. Athena loved the free work activity, but was not sure the pool was quite as fun.

Whiskey is a 5 year old English Cocker Spaniel who is recovering from spinal surgery and needs to build strength. This boy loves his treats, especially cheese, and got an A+ for his work on the platforms.
